Birthday Celebration
The 1st birthday celebration of the year again. As per our “tradition”, we met up to celebrate with Huiyu, though it was a belated birthday celebration. I met up with Ling 1st. Supposed to go esplanade but since the actual dining place was not fixed, I suggested TCC @ Citylink. Birthday gal gave the go ahead so off we went.
TCC is a tad too bright and not as cosy as the previous Pacific café but overall is still quite a nice place to drink tea, chat and do some people watching (if you sit outside).
Was fiddling around with Huiyu’s present when she arrived. Still fiddling with it while talking to her. Realized it was too late to hide it as she grinned impishly at me and looked pointedly at the presents. Still, it was not the time to give it to her yet. We do have our standards, you know: Dinner, desserts then the presents. Haha.
Present includes a photo album from PRINTS (really pretty one :p) and a $40 voucher from Charles & Keith. Ran out of ideas what to buy as the years goes by unless birthday gal has specific requests.
Alicia made a suggestion that we should actually try reverting back to our secondary school days and buy those kiddish and sometimes outrageous gifts, to bring back the fond memories. Good idea actually. I remembered there was even a time when we bought a similar number of gifts to match the age. Think it was when we were 16 or 18. Ali’s birthday is next. Shall do that for her then.
Had an interesting revelation. We have known each other for 10 years! Even though our “6 sisters” has shrunk to “4 sisters”, I’m really glad we are still together and making the effort to meet up and celebrate birthdays and Christmas. Ali commented that when we were “young”, we promised to never lose contact and to meet up as often as we can. But in the end, we still could not escape the inevitable: Work and boyfriends taking up most of our time. Sigh. Staying together as a group really needs effort from all parties.
Poor Ling was sick though. Had to leave early without taking her dessert. We had the chef’s recommendation, a scrumptious chocolate cake with hazelnut flavoring. Forgotten what’s the name (it’s the first dessert listed in the menu) but it’s really delicious! But the serving is a bit small.
So our next planned outing is Picnic @ ECP! Looking forward to that!
P’s: Still waiting for our photos, Alicia! :)
